A Guide to Compassionate Living

Pema Chodron

Ane Pema offers profound guidance on how we can truly “start where we are,” making friends with ourselves and developing genuine compassion for others. She bases her teachings on compassion around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, or slogans, such as: "Always apply only a joyful state of mind," "Don't seek others' pain as the limbs of your own happiness," and "Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment."
